MyCrane (my-crane.com), a global business-to-business (B2B) digital platform, allows users to submit details of their lifting requirements in order to receive personalised quotes from a range of registered crane providers.
MyCrane removes the need for users to contact multiple equipment providers. Instead, users are requested to complete an online request form which has been carefully designed to ensure they receive directly comparable quotations.
The platform is suitable for cranes between 6 and 750 tonnes capacity. Crawler, mobile and tower cranes can all be requested on the site. The website founders are working on adding new crane types, such as fast assemble tower cranes, gantry cranes, mini cranes and others.
The website has been developed by entrepreneur and industry professional Andrei Geikalo, a former commercial director at Mammoet Russia.
Geikalo explains: “MyCrane was born out of the desire to change the existing outdated and inconvenient methods of procuring crane services, and to make life easier for those who require lifting services. At present, crane rental is a manual, old-fashioned process that takes far too much time. In launching the service, we have combined the latest digital technology with our long industry experience. I have personally been involved in countless heavy cargo and lifting projects, so I know only too well how useful our service will prove to be.
With MyCrane, there are no more phone calls or unclear quotations to decipher – just easy-to-understand quotes delivered direct to your inbox. And when you need to change your quote, simply amend your online request at the MyCrane website and our equipment providers will be back in touch.”
MyCrane, which is headquartered in Dubai, UAE, operates on a franchise model. The service is already available in Russia and will soon be launched in key international markets including the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore.
In addition to lifting services search, MyCrane offers a number of other tools for the crane industry, including a marketplace and support services such as engineering and legal consultancy.
“In time, additional features will be offered, including engineering and design services and legal support. We believe MyCrane will set a new standard for the lifting business – making crane rental easier, quicker and more transparent,” says Geikalo.
